Oh man you guys, summer is really upon us. And it came very suddenly here. We were having the most gorgeous spring and then bam, it was 115 degrees. Thankya so much Arizona. But, the silver lining here is—we are looking for all kinds of cold treats, like these easy, healthy strawberry kiwi popsicles, which are perfect for a scorching hot day.
The Short List Of Ingredients
First things first, let’s talk ingredients. I wanted to keep things simple and healthy, so here’s what you’ll need:
- 10 large strawberries
- 1 or 2 kiwis
- Unsweetened coconut water.
- Popsicle mold

Now, here’s How To Make Strawberry Kiwi Popsicles (It’s So Simple!)
- Start by washing your strawberries and kiwis. Slice those strawberries nice and thin, and do the same with your kiwis. You want them to be thin enough to fit easily into your popsicle molds.
- Then place the slices of strawberries and kiwis into your popsicle molds, filling them about three-quarters full. Don’t be shy with the fruit—you want the popsicles packed with fruit.
- Once your molds are filled with fruit, pour unsweetened coconut water over the top until the molds are completely full. The coconut water adds a subtle sweetness and a hint of tropical flavor that’s just perfect for a hot summer day.
- Now, pop those molds into the freezer and let them freeze for about an hour. After an hour, insert your popsicle sticks. This little waiting period ensures that the sticks stay perfectly centered and upright.
- Finally, freeze the popsicles overnight to allow them to fully harden. I know it’s hard to wait, but trust me, it’s worth it! When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply run the molds under warm water for a few seconds, and they’ll slide right out.
Tip
Oh! And a little tip; it makes this super fast if you slice the fruit up with an egg slicer like the one below. I cut up all the fruit for these strawberry kiwi popsicles in like 5 minutes (I would have been faster, but the darn kiwi skin slows me down every time—haha).
About These Popsicles…
These homemade popsicles perfect for backyard barbecues, pool parties, or just a mid-afternoon snack on a hot day. They’re kid-friendly too, with no refined sugar, so the little ones will love helping you make them and, of course, eating them! 😋
And, I have to say, there’s something incredibly satisfying about making your own popsicles. It takes me back to my childhood, but with a healthier twist than what we used to buy from the ice-cream man (gosh I miss him, though). And the best part? You can customize them however you’d like. Try adding blueberries, mango, or even a splash of lime juice for an extra zing.
So there you have it, my friends. A simple, healthy, and oh-so-refreshing summer treat that’s sure to become a favorite in your house. Give these popsicles a try and let me know what you think. And don’t forget to tag me on Instagram with your creations—I love seeing what you all come up with!
Stay cool and enjoy the sunshine!
